**Description:**

I’m encountering two issues while setting up a custom plugin in my [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) environment:

1. **Local Environment Issue:**

- I’ve followed the documentation and successfully enabled the plugin in my local environment.
- The plugin appears in the UI, and I can add it to my content model.
- However, once added, the field does not function as expected. There’s no visible error message or debug information, so I’m unable to determine what’s going wrong.

1. **Hosted Plugin Issue:**

- When I host the plugin online and try to add it via URL, I receive the following error:  
3.\*“Your account doesn’t have access to private plugins.”\*\*
- I’m not sure how to resolve this or if there are additional configuration steps required.

**Request:**

- Could you please help me troubleshoot why the plugin field fails to work or render properly in the local environment?
- Additionally, how can I resolve the access error when trying to use the hosted plugin?

Our plugin is hosted here: [https://builder-plugin-seo-title.vercel.app/plugin.system.js](https://builder-plugin-seo-title.vercel.app/plugin.system.js), and plugin repo is here: [GitHub - tonylee-pb/builder-plugin-seo-title: Productboard Builder CMS Plugin | SEO Title Input](https://github.com/tonylee-pb/builder-plugin-seo-title)

Thank you!

I have resolved the first issue with the debugging method from [Is there any way to check & load custom code(javascript) if my plugin code fails to load due to any reason? - #4 by manish-sharma](https://forum.builder.io/t/is-there-any-way-to-check-load-custom-code-javascript-if-my-plugin-code-fails-to-load-due-to-any-reason/6361/4)
